What special points do you look for when you choose a style for a summer frock? You want one that looks amart and trim, of course, but don't you also look out for a style that will be easy to make, easy to wash and iron?

These three frocks have- all been designed specially with a thought to such practical points.

Back-Buttoning

THE first one, sketched on the left, is particularly easy to launder. The reason? It but- tons all down the back from

neck to hem—us you can see by the back-view aketela--so when you come to iron it you can lay it out flat on the Ironing board.

Incidentally, that back-buttoning is grand for when you go on holiday, for you can wear the frock on the beach for sun-bathing, unbuttoning the top three buttons of the bodice to hard your back to the sea ate.

The front of the frock is plain, except for two Jaunty patch pockets, The bodice Ja stitched

Trim Pleats

NEAT rows of pleats down bodice and skirt, and a be- coming collar, are points to note about the third dress, worn by the seated figure.

Note that the bodice and skirt button all the way down to the hen, so the dress is as easy to ron as the design with buttons as the back.

Choose a fairly heavy cat- ton or linen for this frock, as the pleats will hang bet- ter in this style of material; or have it in art silk pique which always looks fresh and cool and is obtainable lovely soft pastel
